Benefits of technology

The present invention is a shield structure for a helmet or goggles that can be easily and reliably mounted on different types of helmets and goggles. The shield structure includes a main shield and left and right auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms. The auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms have an inner and outer auxiliary shield mounting portion, which allows for easy and reliable mounting of the shield on the main shield. The inner and outer auxiliary shield mounting portions have engaging shafts that can be easily adjusted to tension the shield. The shield structure is compatible with a variety of helmets and goggles, making it easy to adjust the tension of the shield. The invention provides a simple and effective solution for improving the shield structure of helmets and goggles.

Problems solved by technology

In the full-face-type helmet or the like, when the rider travels a bad road as in motocross, the main shield tends to become dirty with mud or the like.
In this case, however, the main shield structure becomes complicated, and the number of components increases, leading to a high cost.
In this case, however, the main shield structure also becomes complicated, and the number of components increases, leading to a high cost.
This leads to cumbersome tension adjusting operation.
In particular, when traveling a bad road on a motorbike as in motocross, the mudguard outer auxiliary shield tends to become dirty with mud or the like.
In this case, adjustment of the tension of the mudguard outer auxiliary shield is further complicated.

Abstract

The invention provides a shield structure which is compatible for a plurality of helmets in spite that an auxiliary shield mounting mechanism has a comparatively simple structure, is less expensive, and provides a good appearance as a whole. According to one aspect of the invention, each of left and right auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms which are disposed on a main shield includes an inner auxiliary shield mounting portion and outer auxiliary shield mounting portion in common.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a shied structure for a helmet or goggles, including a main shield and left and right auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms which are disposed on the main shield, in which each of the left and right auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms includes an inner auxiliary shield mounting portion. The present invention also relates to a helmet in which such a shield structure is pivotally mounted on a head protecting body.[0002]The present invention also relates to a shield structure for a helmet or goggles, comprising a main shield and left and right auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms which are disposed on the main shield, in which at least one auxiliary shield mounting mechanism of the left and right auxiliary shield mounting mechanisms comprises an auxiliary shield holding member including an engaging shaft to relatively engage with one of engaging notched recess and an engaging hole of an auxiliary shield and a removal preventive port...
